The old wizard's words made Richard frown slightly; this is the downside of strength being the highest authority.
The Great Wizards' compliance with the command structure hinges entirely on the Great Wizards of the command being superior to them, or at least on their level.

"Yes, sir."
"Oh, and send a message to headquarters, have them dispatch two Three Rings Wizards to me."
"Three Rings Wizards... no problem, sir."
The wizards in the staff department said no more; a Five Rings Great Wizard has the right to add a few apprentices under his command.
